RESORT:
Valsesia (VC)
LENGTH:
6 days
PROGRAMME:There are some mountains that make people talk about them for their shape, other mountains that remain in people’s memory for their difficulty, for their height, for the history of mountaineering. The southern side of monte Rosa (Pink mount, n.d.T.) deserves to be known… it’s waiting for you! 1st day: arrival in the afternoon in Scopello, small winter sport resort in the middle of Valsesia, accommodation in Hotel.
2nd day: fitness day by mountain bike with hike to Alpe di Mera to “warm up the engines”, return, dinner and overnight stay.
3rd day: Tour from Scopello to Alagna on foot along the river Sesia, one of the few waterways in Europe whose ecosystem hasn’t been modified by human interventions. The trail linking Scopello and Alagna along its right bank snakes along ponds, ravines, waterfalls and portions of woods, in a truly untouched environment. Dinner and overnight stay.
4th day: ascent on foot to Capanna Gnifetti which is only one and a half hour from the cableway; Capanna Gnifetti, 3647 metres’ altitude, is the heart of Monte Rosa, departure point of all mountaineering ascents. Reaching the Capanna (Hut, n.d.T.) doesn’t involve technical difficulties, just a decent training for hiking (duration 2 hours). Dinner and overnight stay in refuge.
5th day: ascent to Capanna Margherita: the most famous refuge in Europe, 4554 metres high on punta Gnifetti (Gnifetti tip, n.d.T.); it overlooks Valsesia from the heights and is a destination hankered for by hundreds of mountaineers; return, dinner and overnight stay.
6th day: return along the river for a white water rafting descent along the long low stretch or river Sesia to say hello to Monte Rosa from a different perspective. Lunch and departure.
